She Is Dark But Lovely : The Middle Man

When it comes to fashion,"copy catting" is the way to go. Some may disagree, they may argue that fashion should be an artistic expression of your own individuality, an expression of who you are and who you are alone without any help or guidance. However, for a fashion beginner like me, it is extremely beneficial to take tips from the best. As a literature major, there were countless classes that talked about the importance of reading when it came to bettering your writing skills. They told us that in regularly reading other written works or pieces we aided in the strength of our own work. I know, I know, I know, but just trust me on this will ya? Our professors claimed that once we had taken in a multitude of different works by different authors we would begin to decide whose writing touched us completely and whose writing put us to sleep. Those established authors were helping us to find our voices. They were helping us to find the middle man that would eventually represent our creativity and individuality. I'm finding that the fashion industry is really no different. As a style beginner I want to try and mimic as many trendy styles from stylish "professionals" as I possibly can, in doing that, I will eventually begin to find my fashion individuality. I will learn what patterns work for me, and which ones I despise. I will learn which colors look great together and which to keep apart. I will learn how to dress my body, because no two people can wear any one item the same. In copying and observing, I will find my voice.

Blogger Jeanette Thwing, creator of "J's Everyday Fashion", has mastered the art of following her inspirations completely. As she does so, you'll begin to see her own individual fashion skills. She advocates for "copying" because she seems to know as well that it is one of the best ways that our styles can develop.

I went "street style browsing" on Google images a few days ago and these were the styles that inspired me to work straight out of my closet. for some of these pieces, I would never have thought twice about paring them together without the help of these inspirations.
